Mr. Speaker, last Friday marked the 47th Annual March for Life, and for the first time in history, the march was attended by a sitting President. Since 2017, the Trump administration has established more conscience protections than ever before, but there is still more work to accomplish. For example, the Born-Alive Survivors Protection Act, which simply requires healthcare professionals to provide medical care to babies born alive during an attempted abortion, has support from nearly 200 bipartisan cosponsors. Yet, despite numerous calls requesting to bring this legislation to the floor, my colleagues and I have been rejected time after time. It is a sad reality that we have to ask our Democratic colleagues to help us end infanticide, but it is a fight we will continue until innocent lives are protected. Fighting for life also means fighting for individuals who are victims of sexual abuse, rape, incest, and human trafficking. Mr. Speaker, that is why I introduced legislation to codify the new Title X abuse reporting rules, to ensure these victims are protected. I hope to see these commonsense ideas signed into law and the lives of the unborn protected. ____________________
